Purpose
This project provides a collection of 33 standalone markdown files and knowledge bases designed to assist with U.S. commercial real estate analysis. It is intended to be used as plugins for AI agents, prompt references, or rule sets for tools like Claude Code and ChatGPT.

Security Assessment
Overall Risk: Low. The repository consists entirely of plain text, markdown files, and documentation rather than compiled code. The automated code scan reviewed four files and found no dangerous patterns. There are no hardcoded secrets, and no dangerous permissions are requested. Because it is a markdown-first library, it inherently does not execute shell commands or make external network requests on its own. The only minor consideration is that it requires users to run standard git commands to clone the repository.

Quality Assessment
The project is actively maintained, with its most recent code push occurring today. It uses the permissive Apache-2.0 license and features a thorough, well-structured README that includes a clear legal disclaimer regarding professional financial advice. Community trust is currently modest but positive, represented by 10 GitHub stars.

Verdict
Safe to use.
SUMMARY

33 standalone AI skill files for U.S. commercial real estate analysis, plus 8 reusable knowledge bases, 11 industrial research notes, and 7 Claude Code plugins. Use them as Claude Code plugins, ChatGPT prompts, Cursor rules, or reference markdown in any LLM workflow.

What This Repo Is

cre-agent-skills is a markdown-first, open-source library of CRE analysis skills.

It now has three layers:

  • Multifamily Core: the original acquisitions-focused multifamily skill set
  • Industrial v1: a new U.S. industrial acquisitions pack, built with companion research notes
  • Shared CRE Workflows: legal, closing, and document-ingestion tools that can support multiple sectors

This repo is designed so you can:

  • copy a single skill into an LLM system prompt
  • install a department or sector plugin into Claude Code
  • point an AI agent at the repo and ask it to use the relevant skills
  • inspect the research notes behind new sector-specific benchmarks and assumptions

No API keys. No compiled app. No orchestration required. Every file is plain markdown or supporting documentation.

Disclaimer: These skills are educational and operational aids, not financial, legal, investment, or tax advice. Use licensed counsel, brokers, lenders, engineers, and other professionals before making real-world decisions.


Quick Start

Option 1: Install a Claude Code Plugin

PowerShell

git clone https://github.com/ahacker-1/cre-agent-skills.git
Set-Location .\cre-agent-skills

New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force "$HOME\.claude\skills" | Out-Null
Copy-Item -Recurse .\claude-code-plugins\cre-industrial "$HOME\.claude\skills\"

Then in Claude Code:

/cre-industrial Underwrite a 220,000 SF shallow-bay industrial acquisition in Atlanta

Bash

git clone https://github.com/ahacker-1/cre-agent-skills.git
cd cre-agent-skills

mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r ./claude-code-plugins/cre-industrial ~/.claude/skills/

Option 2: Copy a Single Skill File

Open any markdown file under skills/, copy it into your LLM tool, and load the related knowledge base if needed.

Option 3: Point an AI Agent at the Repo

Clone the repo and tell your agent to use the relevant skill files and research notes for the deal at hand.

FAQ

Is this still a multifamily repo?

It started as a multifamily acquisitions library and still includes that full core set. It now also includes Industrial v1 and is structured as a broader U.S. CRE skill library.

Are the industrial skills global?

No. Industrial v1 is explicitly U.S.-only.

Are the legacy shared skills fully sector-neutral?

Not completely. Legal, closing, and document-ingestion workflows are broadly reusable, but some legacy content still reflects acquisition-oriented CRE assumptions and some parsers still fit multifamily data best.

Do I need all the files?

No. You can use a single skill file, a single plugin, or the full repo.

Where do the industrial defaults come from?

Start with the Industrial Research Index. The industrial knowledge bases and skills were authored from those research notes.


Want the Full Pipeline?

These skills were originally extracted from the CRE Acquisition Orchestrator, which models a larger multi-agent acquisition workflow. This repo is the lighter, markdown-first library version.
